Usair and AA are selecting from a computer randomly, so a masters can't possibly matter there.
United hires based on connections.
I'm just not seeing evidence that a masters matters.

If I could go back and do it all over again I would have foregone my masters and 121PIC and went to IP school with the military. That mistake is probably going to cost me 500-1000 seniority numbers

But I suspect mil guys are getting the calls to balance out civ flows.

I buy that. My buddy said every single military pilot at his interview at DAL was IP or EP. He doesn't have a masters. My point is the masters wasn't the thing they were looking for when they called those select few for an interview.

ghillis - I would be careful in saying that United hires based on connections. I'm a 2200 hour type guy, all MIL fighter (IP/EP/FCF/DO), with only a couple of low ranking FO letters of recc and I was hired. They are many in my shoes as well. I also do think that Master's degrees add points to your application. For those wanting to get hired an undergrad degree is the minimum but a Master's is most definitely a discriminator that increases your chances of getting hired in today's highly competitive environment. It was the first question my interview panel asked me about in my interview a couple of months ago. Best of luck everyone.

I actually like the way the majors hire. United is big on meet and greets, face to face with a chief pilot etc, networking. It's a good thing, it's a great way to vet someone.
Your resume is stellar. Again I point to your ip/EP/do as what got you the interview.
